Tire size

Hello all, got a question... I have a 2004 F-350, CC, DRW.... Right now I have 235/85 tires on her.....What is the largest size tire I can put on her without running spacers or a lift kit? There is plenty of room in the wheel well and it needs to get filled up. Love this site and thanks for any info.

Hey JZue1, didn't see it...

I run 255/85 - 16 on my DRW, but I have to really keep an eye on them when I load heavy. Never rubbed up front.

Sorry about the pic - only one I have of this view:

255/85's/16 (@33.5"x10") are about the biggest I've seen run on a non-lifted SD w/stock 16" wheels with no rear-wheel rubbing issues. But like Big Orn said, you'll need to pay attention to how much you load the vehicle.

It's not easy finding tires that fit everywhere they need to fit. I'm about to run a Super Swamper 35x10.5 tire and to keep the trucks towing/payload capacity, I've had to have custom 16x7 wheels made and I will still have to run a spacer in between the rear wheels.
